Mary loves the Grouse
Hides the bottles round the house
Watches chat shows and the soaps
Broken Hearted but she copes
Michaels out of work
Feels Hes sinking in the murk
Hes unshaven and a mess
Finds it hard some days to dress
Stevie smashed the delph
'Cos he can't express himself
Hes consumed by rage
Like his father at his age
Ritas little child
Has a lovely little smile
But this means nothing to her father
'Cos hes never even seen her
But we sing, sing all our cares away
And we live to fight another day
Joeys off the gear
Hes been clean for half a year
He gets bored out of his mind
But hes trying to tow the line
Maggie's in a chair
'Twas joy-ridin put her there
She puts the kettle on the boil
and shes always got a smile
But we sing, sing all our cares away
And we live to fight another day
We grow strong
From it all
We grow strong
or we fall
We grow strong
From it all
We grow strong
or we fall
We grow strong
Slán arís.
